Vindel’s Construction

After years of noticing the concrete beside our pool pulling away toward a hill below, we knew it was time to terrace our hillside properly to prepare for the coming El Nino rains. Our neighbors had previously enlisted the services of Mr. Berlin Vindel and spoke highly of him. We requested a plan to terrace our backyard hill from fence line to fence line. We required the removal of an existing wood stairway, and a tremendous amount of vegetation. We asked for a concrete stairway with a custom wheel barrow ramp. Additionally, we needed concrete poured to anchor an existing deck.
Berlin Vindel presented us with a quote and, after agreeing on details, a contract. This was to be a significant project, but Berlin assured me that I would be very pleased with the project when complete. That was to be an understatement.
I found Berlin Vindel to be a sincere, polite and very honest contractor. He kept us well informed through every step on the project. He presented options when decisions needed to be made and guided us in a professional manner through the entire project. At one point we requested a major change building the stairs out of block instead of concrete. Berlin cheerfully accepted the change and presented us with a very reasonable side agreement to cover the added material costs.
Vindel Construction’s crew were always polite, quiet, and tremendously hard working. They showed a continuous consideration and respect for the project and worksite.
We approached this project as one of utility to protect our backyard from further erosion. We were tremendously satisfied with the beautiful results. We are grateful to have trusted Berlin Vindel with this project as we believe he over delivered by giving us a very artistic and beautiful addition to our backyard.
We will always ask him to bid any future projects in our yard!

I recently hired Berlin Vindell for the second time. Many years ago Berlin painted the inside of my home and did an outstanding job. In fact, it still looks great! More recently I was in need of additional painting along with many other projects which needed to be done. To my delight Berlin had, in the meantime, obtained his contractor’s license.
Berlin and his crew were here everyday on time and able to complete everything that was on my long list of jobs — to perfection! Berlin and his crew are honest and efficient and paid attention to my requests, no matter how small. I would hire him and his crew again in a heartbeat! In fact — he’ll be back next week for another project! Outstanding job!

We worked with Berlin to refine our plan to replace some grass with pavers and DG in our back yard. We had a design and Berlin made it work. My husband works from home and is always involved when we have workers at the house and Berlin took that in stride. In the beginning my husband called Berlin’s guys just workers but by day three he called them craftsmen due to the excellent work they did with the pavers.
The work was done on time and for the price quoted. Clean up was good. The yard looks great!

I was referred to Berlin by family members! He was great to work with. We are trying to save water so we removed the grass out front. He installed new sprinklers, did some planting and added the rock ground cover. He picked up materials and made sure the job was completed with our satisfaction. His crew is friendly and hard working. They finished the job quickly and left my yard very clean. The whole process was awesome! I would definitely hire his crew again. They take pride in their work and will really go the extra mile!

We recently hired Berlin to do some work around our house: replace driveway, create an outdoor dining space, and redo patio surface. Overall, we have been extremely satisfied with the work that his crew completed. From the very beginning, I felt that Berlin was very personable and honest. He gave us the true disadvantages/​advantages of each option before we made decisions. There were a few things that we had considered redoing, but Berlin had given us his honest opinion in weighing cost vs benefit. He easily could have taken advantage of the situation just to add another job in order to make more money, but instead, he gave us alternatives that would make for better financial decisions.
Berlin always kept us up to date on the progress of the project. He was easily available throughout the job and was frequently there, working with his crew. He always touched base on what was done that day, what the plan was for the next day, and what would be needed.
He and his crew were always extremely friendly to our family, even the dog! One of the workers even cleared a «path» for our toddler to walk after they had dug up the driveway.
So far, we have received many complements on the work that they completed. I had to ask them for more cards to give to the neighbors. I would definitely recommend Vindel’s Construction to you! Those guys were great!

Berlin constructed our retaining wall & finished it in 5 days. I highly recommend this company. They are very professional & are not slackers… They mean business & take pride in their work. They are not cheap but fair. Like my mechanic said cheap labor is not good. & good labor is not cheap. The reviews a lot of the others said here are true. Thanks Berlin. We look forward to having you do more work in the future. Please don’t change… we will continue to patronize your business. So glad we met an honest contractor who loves what he does for a living. More blessings to you & the hardworking employees.

I have hired Berlin for many jobs throughout the years, and I have always been impressed with his work ethic and final product. He really goes the extra mile to make certain that the job is done right, and that I am happy with the results. He oversees all the major portions of the project personally, and his team seems very competent even when he is not around. I have never seen a worker slacking off, even when Berlin is not present.
I have found Berlin’s prices to be very fair. Once in awhile, he is not my cheapest option, but when I have gone with the cheaper contractor, I have found out that they have compromised quality, and often my vision for the project in order to give me the lowest bid. Berlin always delivers a quality product which reflects exactly what I asked for from the beginning. He is very honest, and I know now that when he gives me a price, it is the best value that I could ask for.
I have had Berlin build 2 retaining walls and repair a 3^rd. He has done numerous landscaping and paving projects around our property, and I have had him do interior and exterior painting as well. He has even done a custom outdoor fire pit and water feature for us. I have to say that I am still happy with each and every project he has done.

We hired Vindel’s Construction to build two retaining walls and some stairs for access to our hillside. We know we made the right choice in who we hired! Berlin Vindel is an honest and professional contractor. He does what he says and keeps you informed every step of the way. His crew of 4 men were there everyday — even Saturday and worked all day. The crew was polite and very hard working. The project came out just as I wanted. His price was competitive and he did an awesome job. I am so happy with the results, we are having a 3^rd wall built on the right of the stairs.
Once we get some plants in — this will be gorgeous. For any future projects, I will hire Vindel’s Contructions! If you would like to see the job, Eastside Rd between Heron & Partridge in El Cajon.

We wanted to move some dirt and put up a wall so that we could increase our usable land in our backyard. We also wanted to pave a section of our backyard as well. I called several contractors and Berlin Vindel was the quickest to respond. That is a good sign of being organized and on time.
Berlin came out for an estimate and gave me a quote. My wife and I went ahead and signed a contract for a wall to be put up and pavers installed.
Berlin and his crew are all honest and hardworking. They worked through the heat waves that heat San Diego (May 2014) which got up to the high 90s in my backyard without much shade. Throughout the project he called or text me to give me status. He is upfront with you and doesn’t work around any questions.
He stayed within the estimate and got done in time. Everything looks great and we get compliments on how nice things turned out for us! The funny thing is that when our project was halfway done, one contractor I called a few weeks back finally gave us an estimate. I told them too late!
My neighbor noticed how honest and hardworking Berlin and his crew are. They were so impress that they mentioned hiring Berlin Vindel and his crew for future work.

After thinking about what to do with our yard for years, we finally decided to do something about it. We called several general contractors and got ideas and quotes. When we met Berlin Vindel, we felt like we had finally found someone we could trust. Berlin did a great job explaining his idea for my yard in a way that we could easily understand. Berlin quoted an excellent price on the job and explained the contract completely. Berlin and his crew were the most professional group we’ve ever worked with. He showed up on time, EVERY time which is unheard of in the construction industry. They explained every step of the process and made sure we were informed anytime a decision needed to be made. I always asked for Berlin’s recommendation and he gave me one or two options and helped me along the way. Berlin was very patient with us since we often didn’t know what we wanted. He prides himself on doing the job right. He is proud of his work and it shows. His crew worked harder than I’ve ever seen a construction crew work. When I need a general contractor in the future, Berlin will be the man I call. He definitely earned my future business. I highly recommend his company for retaining walls. He also does painting and concrete work. You will not be disappointed with this general contractor. Most important, his work far exceeded my expectations and he finished ahead of schedule and on budget. What more could you ask?
